With a TikTok Ban Looming, Users Flee to Chinese App ‘Red Note’ (www.wired.com)

American Tiktok users would rather use ACTUAL Chinese spyware app than Meta. XiaoHongShu (meaning "Little Red Book") and ChatGPT (for translating the Mandarin only app) are currently #1 and #2 on the App store.

Sticking their middle fingers to the government? I even saw a trend where people were talking about live streaming on red note and just walking through all the government buildings near them.

Sticking their middle finger to the government so they can keep using another government’s spyware?

Ok.

What does the Chinese government care what I say about the American government?

What can they do to me anyway?

Nothing says sticking it to the government like some treason, right guys? /s
